Sit still? No way!

Well, mobility has officially entered our home. And we wonder why we wished it upon ourselves. Sunday afternoon, we heard Meredith crying during her nap and entered her room to find this...


Now not only does she crawl around, but she pulls up on everything--fun for her but kind of stressful for Mom.

Now if I could just get her to fold it.

Reading with Grandma.

Fashionista

One fun thing about little girls is the fun moms get to have dressing them up. Meredith's hair is now long enough to style, too, so we have lots of fun (or I do). In the tradition of Aunt Carolyn and Emma, we are trying pigtails.

Although, I try to dress Meredith nicely and fashionably, sometimes she alters her own outfits to conform to her particular fashion sense. The strawberry nightgown does look more dramatic!

When not fixing hair or clothes, Meredith has been perfecting the use of the sippy cup. I thought she might struggle with this concept, as she still doesn't understand she has to tip her bottle to get the milk. But, water...hey that's a no brainer, I guess.

After a long day of fashion and sippy cups, a girl just has to relax and spend some time with her grandpa.

January Fun

Meredith has tried eating crackers in the past, but each instance ended with gagging and choking. We decided to give it another try, however, and this attempt was a success!

Meredith has cracker eating well in hand.

Has anyone seen my cracker?
